Our departed brother, John William Maun, was born on the 28th day of February, 1856, at Femme Osage, St. Charles County, Missouri, the son of William Maun and Agnes Twiehouse Maun, who were farmers. He received holy baptism by Rev. Bode, the pastor of the Evangelical Church. July 29, 1886, our departed brother was married to Miss Dorothea Block at Bay, Missouri. Leaving their native place, they farmed at Levasy and Wellington, Missouri. In both places they were members of the respective Evangelical Churches. In 1925 they retired and moved to Blue Springs, Missouri on a small farm with their son Henry. As there is no Evangelical Church in Blue Springs, they occasionally attended the services of the Pastors Home, where they were always welcome. Their marital union was blessed with ten children, seven of whom survive, namely, Mrs. Anna Scott, who, with her husband, lived on the same farm as her parents, but in a separate house, being so close by they were a great blessing and help to the aged parents, Mrs. Clara Ahmann, Mrs. Mary Walter, Mrs. Katie Fiegenbaum, Mrs. Emma Tempel; and the sons Emil and Oscar. Their son Henry, who had served our country in the last war, had to make the great sacrifice of being a war invalid the rest of his life. The Lord relieved him from his patiently borne misery by taking him home just about a year ago. Other close relatives left are his brother Herman Maun of St. Louis, Missouri; his sister, Mrs. Matilda Mueller of Washington, Missouri, as well as sixteen grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. It was a special comfort to him and the family that Rev. J. Abele, Superintendent of the Pastor's Home at Blue Springs served them faithfully with the word of God and prayer and the Holy Communion.

The following biographical sketch was published in 1893.

     Ernst Tempel, a representative German-American farmer of La Fayette County, Mo., located upon his fine farm situated on section 29, range 26, township 49, is a self-made man, having carved out his own fortune, and bears the reputation of being one whose word is as good as his bond. His beginning here was that of a poor man, but now he owns one hundred and twenty well-improved acres of land, which he has earned by his own perseverance and energy.
     Our subject is of German birth and parentage, having been born in Prussia, Germany, July 25, 1845. His parents were Germans and they have lived always in their native country. They bear the names of Herman and Minnie Tempel, and are good and worthy people, who reared their son and sent him to the schools of his province, where he received a very fair German education. Since coming to this country he has adapted himself to our ways of speech, and thus has two languages at his command.
     In 1869, Mr. Tempel emigrated to America, taking passage on a steamer at Bremen, and after a stormy voyage of fifteen days landed in New York City. His destination was the State of Missouri, and he shortly after reached Warren County. For three months he continued at work in Warren and there received $16 per month as a farm hand, but later came into La Fayette County, where he worked on a farm for about three years, receiving as wages $200 per year with board.
     About this time Mr. Tempel began to think of forming domestic ties and of having a home of his own. His choice of a companion was Miss Frederica Tolle, a native of Germany, and their marriage took place August 4, 1872. Ten children have blessed this union, as follows: Minnie, Annie, Lena, May, Theodore, Gustavus, Fritz, Edward, and Louis. One child died young. After his marriage Mr. Tempel rented land for a number of years, gaining means and experience, but he finally purchased his present home and has lived upon it since 1882.
     At the present time our subject owns one hundred and twenty acres of well-improved land and has upon it some very good buildings. In religion, he is a member of the German Evangelical Church, and is very highly esteemed in that congregation at Mayview. As a politician, Mr. Tempel is ranked with the Republican party, in which he is an important factor in his neighborhood. His influence is always given in favor of educational matters, and in every way our subject is a man much esteemed by those who have his acquaintance. Any matter affecting the public weal is true to enlist his interest, and he is credited by his neighbors with being governed by honest convictions in the side which he espouses.
